Similar to Fig. 3, but with the Alice flux spectra converted to reflectance factors. The plot range is from 12501850 Å rather than the larger wavelength coverage in Fig. 3 in order to focus on the spectral region not contaminated by the strong Hydrogen Lyman series of emissions at shorter wavelengths and to avoid the longer wavelengths where there are no TIMED SEE solar data. Accounting for the solar incidence angle, it is clear that the surface of 67P does not behave like a Lambertian as there still exists a strong dependence on phase. Note that the spectrum corresponding to 11.5° stands out above all the rest of the data due in part to its relatively high solar incidence angle and low phase angle, whereas the spectra corresponding to 25.4° and 29.2° appear to be flipped in the reflectance trend because of their relatively similar phase angles, but much different solar incidence angles.
